46 12/2024 <br /> <br /> <br />• Paid leave is exhausted. <br />• The employee has specifically requested unpaid leave. <br />• The employee is suspended without pay for a full day or more for disciplinary reasons for <br />violations of any written policy that is applied to all employees. <br />• The employee takes unpaid leave under the FMLA. <br /> <br />The City of Lake Elmo may for budgetary reasons implement a voluntary or involuntary unpaid leave <br />program and, under this program, make deductions from the salary of an exempt employee. In this case, the <br />employee will be treated as non-exempt for any workweek in which the budget- related deductions are <br />made. <br /> <br />The City of Lake Elmo will not make deductions from pay due to exempt employees being absent for jury <br />duty or attendance as a witness. Employees must provide copies of any compensation received for jury or <br />witness duty, which will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck. Pay for expenses may be kept by the <br />employee. <br /> <br />If the city inadvertently makes an improper deduction to the salary of an exempt employee, the city will <br />reimburse the employee and make appropriate changes to comply in the future. If an employee thinks that <br />a wage deduction was made in error, please contact the administrative services director promptly. All <br />employees, in all departments, are required to work overtime as requested by their supervisors as a <br />condition of continued employment. Refusal to work overtime may result in disciplinary action. <br />Supervisors will make reasonable efforts to balance the personal needs of their employees when assigning <br />overtime work. <br /> <br />HOLIDAY COMPENSATION <br />All benefit eligible employees who are on active status (not a leave of absence) the day preceding and the <br />day following an observed City holiday are eligible to receive holiday compensation. Any employee on a <br />leave of absence without pay from the city is not eligible for holiday pay. Full-time employees will receive <br />eight (8) hours of Holiday Pay on the observed holiday. Part-time employees will be paid on a prorated <br />basis determined by the number of hours they work per week. Career and POC firefighters, seasonal, and <br />temporary employees will not receive Holiday Pay on observed City holidays. <br /> <br />Career firefighters will not receive Holiday Pay on observed City holidays. Career firefighters will receive <br />eight (8) hours of accrued time deposited to their Firefighter Holiday Leave (FFHL) Bank on the paycheck <br />for the pay period in which the observed holiday falls. Firefighter Holiday Leave must be preapproved by a <br />supervisor and be used in eight (8) hour increments. Firefighter Holiday Leave time does not count towards <br />hours worked when determining overtime. Up to thirty-two (32) hours of firefighter holiday leave hours may <br />be carried over into the following year. Firefighter Holiday Leave bank hours will not be paid out upon <br />separation. <br /> <br />PAY FOR TIME WORKED ON A HOLIDAY <br />Non-exempt employees assigned to work on any observed City holiday are paid one-and-one-half times <br />the employee’s regular hourly pay rate for all such hours worked. <br /> <br />Career Firefighters required to work on a City holiday shall be paid one and one-half (1.5) times their <br />hourly pay rate for hours worked during the 24-hour period starting at 12:00 a.m. and ending at 11:59 <br />p.m. on the actual City holiday, not the day City offices are closed to observe the holiday.
